Intriguing announcement at the new-and-improved MGHarris.net
A screenshot of the ICE SHOCK video, which plays a part in a Secret New Thing for “Joshua Files”.
Well I’ve got me new website design and I’m delighted with it!
Readers, I have been SO busy with stuff…so much to write about Bill Heine’s book launch party, the Oxford heat of the Kids Lit Quiz, but most of all working on the Alternate Reality Game we’re developing to co-launch with ICE SHOCK.
That’s right, I said Alternate Reality Game – ARG! Conceptually, our game is a cross between Lonelygirl15 and The Beast.
But! It’s a secret. So don’t tell, okay?
Thanks to David for the upgrade to the latest version of WordPress and for helping me to configure and to Liam McKay of Woothemes for his custom design work in modifying his Papercut theme.

Hello fellas. Keep watching here for more rumors of the game. FYI it is conceptually similar to Lonelygirl15 and The Beast only in that it’s a murder mystery spread over various websites in conjunction with a teen girl’s vlog.
The story is set in the world of Joshua Files BUT is actually based on a whole unpublished ms – a technothriller that I wrote the year before. And in fact my first proper stab at a novel. So there’s gritty content; murder, conspiracy, secret global organisations etc – but not as grimly ‘adult’ as those other two games. And by telling the story from the POV of a teen girl – who becomes involved when she tries to investigate her father’s murder – we keep it more child-focused.
